FLC Arboretum
Trees in urban spaces like our FLC campus provide much more than an attractive backdrop. Trees help regulate the climate, clean our air, control water runoff, and even contribute to our well-being. We take pride in our campus trees to contribute to a healthy and ecologically sustainable campus.
Spearheaded by a Sustainability Initiative Grant in 2021, Biology faculty, Dr. Aurea Cortés-Palomec and Dr. Ross McCauley integrated campus trees into some of their classes with their students researching and tagging trees across the main academic and residential areas of campus. The tags include QR codes linking to their species profiles, shown below.
